Zora
Remembering what happened to me in Brighton, I told them I would think about it. I could forgive Iris for bringing me poison when I did not know I was pregnant; now, I had to be careful.
I returned to our booth at the croquet pitch, but the morning game was over by then, so we had to move to our main booth to while away time.
Kara and Eloise wanted to know how the meeting with Lori went, so I told them everything on our way to the booth. Kara laughed while Eloise was irritated.
“Boohoo, she would lay on her bed of thorns; Zora, she made it,” Eloise said, and we all laughed; even Nellie joined this time. Other than Neva. all four of us had been burned by our husbands‘ fated at one point, so they
all understood.
We got to our booth, which was filled with gifts and cards. To my surprise, they were all addressed to me.
“Kind–hearted Lady of the north,” One read, and I picked up the other, but Nellie stopped me.
“Don’t just open things because they are addressed to you. You will be a lady soon; believe me or not, you have enemies. There is the staff that will open it to be sure it is not harmful before you touch it,” she said, and I saw her signal some people to take the things away.
One of the cards caught my eye; it was a simple card with a white tulip taped to it.
“This one looks harmless, Nellie. May I,” I said, reaching for it.

I had picked it up before she spoke, and I opened it.

The content was appalling. The words were cut out from magazines and papers.
“You were not meant to be involved, Luna. But it seems to move him, you have to be moved; watch your back because we are coming for you,” it read, and I was in shock.
Nellie saw it and collected the card from me. There was another with a red rose, and I picked it up.
“A traitor like you deserves to die. How can you fall for the very man that laid waste to the lives of your people? Have you no shame? Or did you plan it all along? Watch you back, Luna, because we are coming for you,” it read, and I began to search through the cards.
I found six altogether, and none had anything pleasant.
I tried to pick a scent, but the flower taped to it covered the scent it might have had. It was sent meticulously.
Someone or some people were not happy about what happened at the hearing, and they knew I helped out, but how?
“Calm down, Zora, you are sweating. I need you to be calm for the baby’s sake,” Nellie said, and I did not know what to do. How could I be calm when I had somehow become a target in a game I did not know who the players were?
I could not believe what had just happened. I have heard of these notes and how the owners used them to scare people into doing what they wanted. Whoever was running this show had suddenly become desperate.
I held on to the cards.
They had no instructions, just warnings and threats, so it was either the person or people who sent them wanted me to back off from whatever

they believed I was involved in or headed, or they simply wanted to scare and destabilise me.
They had succeeded in destabilising me but not scaring me. If anything, I was more curious and motivated.
I wondered who I might have touched for them to do this.
Maybe Liam, Gezel or Lori. It was unclear unless Lily somehow found a way to alert Gezel.
The problem with that theory was that Lily was being watched, and she did not know it. I needed to start thinking of everyone as ‘smart‘.
“Dear,” Nellie said, sounding worried, and I smiled at her.
“Your hands are shaking, Zora. It is okay to be scared,” Nellie said, and I looked at my trembling hands.
I shook my head and tried to be stable, but I could not stop my hands from shaking.
“It is wrong for the lord’s mate to show weakness,” I told her, and I could feel the tears threatening to fall.
I battled them.
I wasn’t afraid, really; I was angry. Angry that whoever it is felt it was okay to do this shit.
I was done playing games. I needed to pick Gezel up soon, but I would pacify myself with whatever Liam would divulge.
“We need to move to the estate now,” I said to Nellie, and she frowned.
“Really?” Eloise said, sounding excited.
I have a lovely dress I would like to wear tomorrow that I forgot to bring.

I also want to do something for Darius. See it as an early wedding gift,” I said, and Eloise frowned. Then realisation dawned on her, and she smiled.
“I really miss my room there too.” She said, and I nodded.
It was paramount that we act normal.
“Meanwhile, send these cards to the authorities so they can figure out the sender,” I said and handed the cards to the Brian in the booth.
I knew I was being watched by the sender or by their scouts. I needed to take immediate action for them to follow or report to their master or
masters.
If I went to the mansion without doing something about the cards and threats, they would know I had something important there. But by dealing with the cards‘ issue immediately, they will not suspect anything at the
mansion.
“Green–eyes, are you okay?” I heard Darius’s voice in my head, and I looked at Nellie, who looked away.
“Why did you tell him? It will destabilise him,” I said to her, a bit annoyed.
“Yes, darling. I am fine,” I replied.
“I am on my way to you now. I have cancelled my itinerary for the day. Please be calm. Cremin senses your anxiety,” he said, and I looked at my hands, which were still trembling and realised I needed to bring it under control.
Soon, Darius, Raphael and Marcel arrived, and Darius held me close to him

I really did not want Darius to read the cards. Some had death threats and insults in them.
He was mad by the time he was through with them.
“Do you want to go home?” he asked, and I looked at him.
“I want to sleep in our bed at the Estate,” I told him, and he nodded without question.
“Anything you want. I have told Alpha Jake to meet us there so we can go through the photos,” he said, and I shook my head immediately.
This whole card thing had made me forget that Alpha Jake had come to Wonderland specifically because of that.
Could it be that someone did not want my meeting with the alpha to
hold?
